Sometimes going off the grid is important and necessary! We must be a human being not a human doing!

This from the Bubbabrain founder - a new Math challenge - go in and play for your state. From the founder:

"I decided to create a national elementary math madness challenge. Students can score points for their state by playing math games.

http://www.bubbabrain.com

1. Click on the math challenge link
2. Select your state
3. Select a game and hit submit
4. The top left card will say "find this" you have to click on the correct match
5. Clear the board and score points

I teach 11th grade and was wondering how to get the message out to the elementary population. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!! Darren McCarty"

Time to vote for edublog awards - the nominations are...

Thank you to those who nominated my blog for best teacher blog -- such an honor to be on that list! Also, for those who nominated the Digiteen Ning for best educational use of a social network (and a powerful one it is)... being nominated for lifetime achievement award - that takes my breath away -- I think I'll do on that one like Scott McLeod did and say that perhaps Stephen Downes, Will Richardson, David Warlick or the others perhaps can claim lifetime whereas, I just had my four year blogiversary - still am yet a babe! ;-)

If you are like me and get a lot of messages and heavily use the label feature to cull through routine newsgroups, etc. then the spreadsheet will help you generate the code to be able to generate an unlabeled search in gmail.

Kevin and I had a great discussion Wednesday about global collaboration, the evolution of teaching, and what schools should look like to be 21st Century Schools -- a good conversation between friends.

This is the re-launch of Kevin's podcast since he lost his hard drive! So, subscribe - I just love his work!

This wiki page is one of the most definitive Google Calendar how-to guides that I've ever see. They did a great job of organizing things! Awesome! I especially like the features on how to print in custom ways at the bottom of this!

This is an older post but really resonates with me. (Isn't it funny how you can read something from a while back and re-learn all over again some really cool things.) I had to laugh and remember - this was during my first year of blogging and everything is STILL TRUE about blogging. Gotta love this amazing blogging thing that lets us re-invent and re-learn about ourselves over time.

There are grants for creating gardens at your school. We put in an elementary school garden several years a go and it has been GREAT! See if you can apply or get some interest - it is an online form.

For those who love the Matrix, for the 10th anniversary of the Matrix, someone has reenacted the rooftop scene with legos! ;-) Great for a laugh if you like the movie.

This is really so much fun and one of the highlights of last season. Join in the PLN madness and sign up on the Third Annual Holiday gift exchange - you sign up on this page and elfster "draws names" the end of this week - you send something to your person - usually things local to your area. It is a lot of fun. Thanks to Steve Dembo for doing this!

To me, this example is over the line but anything that takes away from your ability to teach is considered a problem and reason to fire you. I think this is no acceptable when the teacher had everything marked as private and did not allow parents nor admins on her facebook page - again, facebook is not secure.
